Why check this before spending?
Irish SME supports are fragmented across state bodies and often depend on timing, business size, sector, location and project type.
Match the spend to the right scheme
Website, ecommerce, CRM, cyber and automation projects often sit under different supports.
Avoid generic grant lists
Digital supports can depend on size, sector, trading history and whether you are export-facing.
Use the scan before quoting
Run the scan before you sign a supplier quote so potential grant rules are not missed.
Examples of schemes worth checking
